How did you get the a/c compressor to fit in there? I have a 72 GMC with a 01 6.0 DBC and no such luck making the compressor fit down there.

Beautiful truck! I have a hydroboost pull out also. Did you send it to anyone to have it refurbished or use one of the kits?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

I looked at so many trucks that weekend, i don't remember what all I looked at. I tried to pay close attention to LSx swapped trucks since I was in the process of my swap.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

Need a little help with my project any info would be great. I have an 87 swb and I just installed a 06 5.3 and a 4l65e tranny everything is in and wired just trying to figure out what fan setup to do. I see a lot of photos when the stock fan is used and then I see pics of aftermarket setups. This is my first project truck and I'm new to the game. Any suggestions would be great take a look at my pics let me know what u guys think
